    Hi All,
    This 2006 d north Dakota quarter caught my eye going through quarter rolls. The obverse side has two cracks: the first starts at the 6 o'clock position edge of the coin just right of the R in quarter and proceeds to travel north towards Washington's temple just behind and above his eye, i can't tell for sure if it then curves right and goes up his forehead or not. The second crack starts just below the 9 o'clock position and travels ENE towards Washington's lips. Looks like he's sucking in a stand of spaghetti? My question is are these die cracks or some other form of due error?

    Also, the letters TER in quarter, are they showing some sort of spacing error, I'm guessing from the crack to the right of the R?

    I briefly glanced at the reverse and didn't notice anything significant but again, didn't spend as much time on reverse as i did looking at the obverse.

    Finally, if these are die cracks and spacing errors do they bring a premium to a coin, specifically this one? And what would you estimate the total value of this coin? Thanks in advance for everyone feedback!

    If someone else thinks the pics are blurry, I'll reshoot the images. Being lazy is preventing me from pulling the coin from the 2x2 slab i just stapled it into!

    Agreed. They look more like scratches than cracks.
